The Corliss Steam Engine at The Henry Ford Museum

that engine does not look like a true corliss engine it may say that it is but the valve gear does not look like a corliss valve gear

@thecanook88 There's a shot of the nameplate at 1:50. It's well documented and there's not really any doubt about its origins. That said, there have been some modifications relating to the operation under compressed air. I don't know enough about these to address your comment technically, but it's a Corliss.

@mopalia it may say that it is a corliss but many companies would sell engines labeled as corliss engines due to the efficiency rating. But in order for it to actually be a true corliss engine it would need dash pots and a catch and release mechanism incorporated in the valve gear. if it does not have either one of these then it is not a true corliss engine.
